It looks like the bridge of an enemy star ship from some sci-fi show. Plus it's just too big; they can't even zoom in on the guys because of the player graphics in the background that they don't want to hide.

I'm still not sold on the Neal call, yes there are dangerous hits around there, that's not even close, it's almost laughable. Like someone said - they get hit harder in adult league games. In fact, I bet I could get hit harder than that going to a friday night social skate by someone whose a bit out of control.

It's not power. It's just "you can't just go around shoving people down from behind near the boards" period. It's not like Neal knocked his block off, just Cooke wasn't hit hard but people wanted a penalty. Cooke was knocked down or inhibited while going to the net, I'm sure he's been hit harder too, but we both know that's not the point.

Neal didn't hit Hamonic. He was just having some cranial flatulence near him.

It serves two purposes for the ref to call the penalty there...

a) It's a penalty, you can't do that.b) It's a warning, that says, you can't do this.
